Thanks all.
dom miguel - the title is separate from the opening sentence. (She) Shrinks him. stuck in the throat of her table means rendered speechless, overawed by the trappings of authority - it never was meant to make perfect sense.I wouldn't want to be writing this kind of poem too often but I'm fine that it provokes questions rather than answers. That can be a good thing in appropriate doses.

Tom - did you find it easy, easy to appreciate, I mean?

Before criticising a person, try walking a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticise them, you're a mile away.....and you have their shoes.
